I am a huge fan of function over fashion and your trailer is exactly that. It's simple and effective for what you need. Great job!

Welcome to Overland Bound, @VI Overlander, from your neighbor across the Sound and a little south of the border. As I am sure you have already experienced, your province is filled with beautiful sites to see for an overlander. It is also a fastly growing area for Overland Bound members, so I...

@Roy & Kristin Zirpoli are actively planning a number of activities for Western Oregon, so I recommend hitting them up for ideas as well. You can also check their FB page [link] and the official Overland Bound - NorthWest FB page [link] for chatter about activities. Or, just plan something and...

Welcome to Overland Bound Tom (@SierraOL). That is a great looking truck and I am sure it will serve you well on overland adventures. I think it is great that you want to instill in your daughter the same love for the outdoors that you have and that you are starting her at a young age! The...

The past two weeks I have been commuting to one of my facilities for work that is on an island. To get there, I can fly over (my usual) or take a ferry. Since I qas going to be there for a few days, I decided to ferry myself and Red Five over. Well, when making the reservations, one of the...

Welcome to Overland Bound, @Vandeeman. I can't wait to see your F150, hopefully you will document it here with a build thread. There are a number of great overlanding events occurring throughout the PNW, so I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups...

NIce! So, on the platform with a mattress, does it give you enough room to sit up? That has been my concern with doing anything over about 6" for a platform.

That is the exact setup I want to install on Red Five.

That is AWESOME! Congratulations.

Welcome, @Jeff Lloyd! Sedro Wooley is such a great little town with access to lots of awesome trails in the Mt. Baker area! I'm actually down there frequently for work and I really love the community. Plus, it is the home of a great high end drawer manufacture, TruckVault. The PNW is the...

What is the web site you use in the video to view the public land borders?

I just mounted my tracks with a cheap and easy DIY:

Unfortunately, you are right to be concerned about adding weight to the tailgate/tire carrier. While I haven't used the forward mounted carriers, the design seems solid enough and well thought out. In fact it reminds me of the old Willy's Jeep Jerry can mounts. I think a more important thing...

The NorthWest Region of Overland Bound encompasses some of the most amazing overlanding spots and the best overlanders. It is also the largest region in the US, making organizing the members a challenge. The Member Representatives are the answer to this challenge and help us to take a more...

Depending on how much you want it to resemble the functionality and engineering of an SPod, there are several ways to go about this. Let me start by saying that I am a firm believer in two critical things: Fuse early and often. Limit the current running through your rig. For the first one...

Amateur Radio (Ham) will always be the best choice for reliable communications. Even at the technician level, an amateur radio license can access UHF, VHF, and HF frequencies and transmit with enough power to reach half way around the world (10m SSB) or more importantly to communicate through...
